Well, if the dumplings can pour sweet berry syrup and decorate fruit, a delightful dessert will be obtained. The dumplings are inexpensive - from 5 to 20 kroons.

Remember! Portions in the Czech Republic are generous, so do not rush to order everything and immediately, it is better to take second dishes at the rate: one by 2-3 people.

Typically, the portion of the blade or Korean is used for the preparation, marked in spices and first roasted in a pan, and after that baked in the oven. In the process of baking, the pork is watered with broth and the resulting juice, so that the meat is obtained very gentle and juicy, literally melting.

The cost of 200 grams, for example, a pinsen goulash from beef with dumplings is 100-120 kroons.

Roasted carp

Unique recipes of Czech cooks, as well as the history of the state, have a thousand-year exposure. In this article, let's talk about the peculiarities of national food in the Czech Republic and the most interesting dishes of local cuisine.

The origins of national dishes of Czechs

A long time the country remained under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which postponed the imprint and in the national cuisine of Chekhov. Here we will meet the Austrian Schnitzel, Hungarian Gulyash, German Sauer Cabbage and Fried Goose. Piece of Czech dishes original Slavic: soups, porridge, side dishes.

In the photo on the right (click to enlarge) a popular Czech dish, called "sterchaise". This is the most vivid example of the heritage of Austria-Hungary - a copy of the famous.

But even borrowed dishes in the Czech Republic acquired their special tasteings, and they are preparing in Czech with the addition of their components. We will not look at the cookbooks now, but we will carry out a small excursion to those dishes that can be tried in Czech restaurants.

Features of Czech cuisine

Czechs adore sweet. Even in salads, sauces and gravy they add sugar, which makes dishes sweetish. For example, Czech children love sweet noodles with poppy grains and fused milk.

Among your favorite Czechs, we call: Tsmin, Majora, poppy, red pepper, ginger, dill. Mustard is attached to all meat dishes that maril in vinegar. Sweet ketchup is also a favorite sauce of Chekhov.

Major national dishes and desserts are very fatty and calories. In addition, portions in cafes and restaurants are impressive. We urge not to order a lot of dishes at once, one portion often grabs two. High calorieness affects the sizes of citizens of the country, 21% of the population suffers from obesity, the Czech Republic ranks 6th in the list of the most "thick" countries of Europe. Perhaps the first thing we are to abuse food.

Soups - their varieties and features

Czechs are called Soups "Polevka", without them it is impossible to imagine Czech cuisine. As in Russian tradition, the soups are given a place at the very beginning of the meal. Czech soups are dense consistency, often more resemble sauces. When cooking, they add a semolina or rubbed vegetables, oil and egg yolks.

Depending on the main ingredient, there are garlic soups, from sauerkraut, onion, vegetable, smoked, mushrooms, soups, cheese, cheese, beer soups with tmin, soups made of sour cabbage with apple, soups with dill on sour milk and others .

Served dish in a plate, or in bread (such an exorbitant will cost more than twice). Among the popular soups will call "Cracked". Its base is a chicken broth with potatoes, which is put about 10 cloves of garlic. Brings it in a rzhan bread. This is an excellent antimicrobial agent. It is clear that there is no worth walking after such a dish, except to try the dish along with the beloved.

Who loves meat, order a goulash soup. It has a lot of meat, it is rubbed and looks like a thick porridge.

Unusual will seem cold soup on beer. The beer is put grated bread, sugar, raisins, lemon. Such ingredients in one plate will endure not every gourmet. Be careful with this dish.

It is unlikely where else will find dill soup on milk. And in the Czech Republic is preparing. It is milk, sour cream, egg, flour and dill. The taste is unusual and not everyone will like it.

Czech Republic - Paradise for Myasoisters

We certainly taste the main dish of Czech cuisine - the knuckle: baked pork knee (Recene Veprove Koleno, in the photo on the right, click on the photo to enlarge). The dish is present in the menu in each restaurant and cafes in the Czech Republic.

The meat is soaked in a certain time in beer, then boil, then smoky. It becomes juicy and gentle. It is usually served by sauces, mustard or horseradish, can bring sauer cabbage. Czech dishes prepare on the street on the mangale. Fry huge steers, please cut off as you want.

Old Czech Kushany "Vepro-Knedlo-bearer." This is a baked pork with dumplings and stewed sauerkraut. All this is watering abundantly thick gravy. Can the stomach "survive" such an exorbit?

Traditional food in the Czech Republic has always been walking. Each restaurant has its own recipe for this Kushan. It can be made of beef, pork, rabbit, birds, liver or assorted. It is served with sauces with sauces, be sure to squeeze, sometimes with sauerkraut, season with garlic, tmin.

Meat dishes are surprised by their variety and cooking method. And what are sauces to them! We did not say about pork cakes, ham, shinits, baked duck with spices, Czech sausages. Order, try, enjoy!

Fisteers of fish will not see diversity in Czech cuisine. Traditionally, the christmas Czechs fry carp and eat it with a potato salad. In restaurants and cafes in the menu there are: ear from carp, chops or carp grilled. If, after meat in the stomach, the place will remain, remove it for fish, you will not regret.

Garnish to the main dishes

The main and indispensable garnish in the Czech Republic is Knedlik. Flour or potato dough is boiled steam, inside the liver, meat, onion or cabbage. Knedlik lay out pieces to dishes, mainly meat. They can be served with sauce and bacon. There are sweet cunning, they put fruit or cottage cheese and sprinkle with sugar.

Popular side dishes are potatoes, cabbage, vegetables, crockets.

Try "Bramboraki" - pellets from potatoes (like our Dranias, in the photo on the right, click on the photo to increase). They are put on mayoran (fragrant seasoning from a perennial plant) or meat.

Before ordering the side disk, make sure that it is not included in the second dish.

Salads and snacks to beer

Among Salads, we note "BRAMBOROVY SALAT".
